THE HAIR DISTRICT COLLECTIVE

your business, our staff

Since opening our first salon in 1997, The Hair District has become home to over 250 of the Twin Cities’ best salon and spa professionals.

Our mission at The Hair District Collective is to provide a well maintained, progressive environment designed with the independent salon and spa professional in mind. The cornerstone of our business is respect, open communication, and fair practice. Our goal is to support our independent salon and spa professionals, allowing them to maintain and grow their businesses by providing educational opportunities and impeccable customer service for our guests.

If a stylist averages 3 new walk in clients per month, and half of those become repeat clients, the stylist would have 18 new clients who would visit the stylist approximately 6 times per year. With an average service of $75 per visit, our stylists would earn over $8000 in income which would pay for approximately 60% of total yearly rent from walkin clients.

You can offer your clients our premier retail products and earn up to 20% commission. You will find top brands and and an extensive inventory that is maintained and managed by our front desk staff, so you can focus on servicing your clients.

We work closely with our product vendors to offer numerous educational opportunities for our stylists, including training to become network educators. Our vendors also provide information on new products, hands on color and cutting classes, social media and business building classes and in house product testing dates.

The Hair District Collective website and social media platforms (including Instagram and Facebook) serve to promote your work as an artist. Credit will be given when your work is posted.

Our website provides custom artist bio pages that act as your own mini website. They are customized with your hours, services, education and are linked to your social media accounts to boost business. Our booking software also provides you with multiple marketing opportunities.

Our goal has always been to foster a team environment with stylists who work collectively to enhance everyone’s experience. This setting allows us to offer short term contracts and no non-competes, so that stylists can choose to be part of our talented team.

SUITE SALON COMPARISON

The biggest difference between The Hair District Collective and most suite salons is our "low drama" team environment and full service front desk staff. Take a look at the list on the left to see some other differences.
